Jenn’s Recommended Plugins

I work with WordPress *a lot*. Thus, throughout my WordPress use I have discovered 4 random and somewhat obscure plugins that make life easier. So, I thought that I would share that knowledge with y’all.

1. YourChannel
The first plugin that I am going to talk about is YourChannel. Anna, a Domain Fellow, recommend this plugin to me. Essentially what it does is makes your YouTube links into an actually interactive platform. It really makes your YouTube videos look interesting on your website.

2. Smooth Scroll Up

The next plugin I recommended is the Smooth Scroll Up. This amazing little plugin adds a back to top feature in your website. They give you a bunch of different looks for your button as well. I really like this functionality because it means when someone is in the depths of my website, they can simply press a button and be taken to the top.

3. Limit Login Attempts Reloaded

Another plugin I recommend is Limit Login Attempts Reloaded. This plugin limits the number of login attempts as WordPress by default allows unlimited login attempts. Essentially, this plugin will prevent your website from a brute force attack.

The last plugin I recommend is the PDF Embedder. This may seem like an obscure choice, but I find this plugin amazing for resumes. It really spices up a PDF and gives it a preview instead of having the viewer download it.
